Lieutenant Governor Assents to Private Universities Bill
The Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Manoj Sinha, has given assent to The Jammu and Kashmir Private Universities Bill, 2026 , passed by the Assembly on April 14, 2026. This has paved the way for the Ministry of Education to frame rules for the establishment of private universities. Reportedly, the government has already received proposals from various bodies for setting up universities. This is an opportune time for concerned citizens and thoughtful sections of society to deliberate on issues basic to the governance of universities in general, and private universities in particular. The Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has justified the bill by envisioning Jammu and Kashmir as an education hub, which is indeed a very high aspiration. Developing the region as a hub would require adopting models similar to Pune or London in terms of educational governance. It is therefore essential to catalogue the issues that policymakers must consider to ensure the success of private universities in J&K where people previously experienced the best of the welfare state model of development. Context The issue of private universities has emerged at a time when we are witnessing the erosion of the degree as the sole marker of a students career path. We live in an era where outcomes matter more than optics, and impact carries greater weight than mere expansion. Universities and colleges are now judged by graduate readiness and the ability of students to navigate a complex world shaped by emerging technologies. About 70 percent of IT companies have already integrated AI into their recruitment processes. Management gurus claim that universities are no longer one-time degree providers but continuous talent development platforms that prioritize intellectual growth, skills, and lifelong learning. In these changing times, higher education for youth should revolve around key dimensions: Degree, Dignity, Delivery, Dreams, Determination, and Discipline. Several concerns that have engaged the attention of this author over time merit deeper discussion. Grammar of Governance Peninsular states in India, such as Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have taken an early lead in the privatization of higher education and have laid a strong foundation for quality institutions. Notable examples include Vellore Institute of Technology, Azim Premji University, and SRM University. These institutions have contributed to creating a favourable policy environment for private higher education. In Jammu and Kashmir partners and stakeholdersincluding institutions and policymakersmust approach this sector with openness and a willingness to learn about the regions unique social and economic context. Some leading academics argue that public higher education institutions have atrophied and turned into intellectual dead zones while producing graduates oriented toward limited government employment. Professor Apoorvanand describe public universities as expanding deserts. There is thus significant scope for both learning and unlearning as we move toward experimenting with new models of private universities. It is important to study best practices from across the world while designing a new academic architecture. The private and foreign universities are entering India at a time when countrys higher education market is currently valued at Rs 6.2 lakh crore as per Niti Aayogs 2025 report. A BSc course at the university of Southampton is priced at around Rs 80 lakh to Rs one crore in UK campus but about Rs 40 lakh in an Indian campus. The high fees charged by private universities remain a point of contention. Private institutions justify these costs by citing the need to attract top faculty and build modern infrastructure. In China, government authorities often accuse private institutions of manipulating policy for profit, while the institutions, in turn, argue that they are denied sufficient autonomy to operate effectively within market conditions. The debate over whether higher education is a public or private good continues to dominate academic discourse, with huge literature being produced on the subject. In recent decades, a market-driven model of development has led to a growing policy preference for treating higher education as a private good. Consequently, government investment in higher education has declined, even as private players are encouraged to expand access. As the state gradually withdraws from direct involvement, it simultaneously promotes private participation to develop the education sector. Human resource expert Richard Hopper notes that in Bangladesh, many privileged individuals believe taxpayer money should not fund higher education, as its benefits accrue primarily to individuals rather than society. Similarly, in Romania, following the collapse of communist regimes, even public institutions saw a rise in tuition fees, as observed in many countries adopting neoliberal governance models. Increasingly, privileged sections also question the link between equity and higher education, treating equity as a diminishing concern. This has led to pressure on public universities to introduce self-financed courses and generate their own resources. In some cases, administrators have even considered unconventional revenue models, such as commercial ventures within campuses. Scholarships for Students The provision of scholarships is crucial to the very conception of a good private university. A robust scholarship system ensures inclusivity and fosters a vibrant academic environment. This requires a multifaceted approach that combines institutional funding with external sources. The key strategies include establishing endowed scholarships through alumni contributions, corporate sponsorships, and foundation grants. It is noteworthy that the number of higher education institutions in India has increased from 51,534 in 201415 to over 70,000 in 202526, according to the latest Economic Survey of the Government of India. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) stands at 29.5% (202223). For students across social backgrounds, the primary consideration for admission to top private universities is access to scholarships. Institutions must develop innovative scholarship frameworks by collaborating with national and global organizations. Even for students admitted to globally renowned universities such as Harvard or Princeton, the availability of financial aid is often a decisive factor alongside institutional prestige. For instance, Ashoka University provides full scholarships to about 20% of its students, while nearly half receive some form of financial assistance. The Indian School of Business (ISB) has built a donor-supported scholarship ecosystem, awarding 250280 scholarships annually. Similarly, Shiv Nadar University offers various merit-cum-means scholarships based on academic performance and financial need. First-generation learners without backlogs may receive up to a 75% fee waiver, while others may receive up to 50%. Financial aid provisions are also available at institutions like O.P. Jindal Global University, which offers a wide range of scholarships across disciplines. The Sitaram Jindal Foundation Scholarship (2026) provides merit-cum-means support to Indian students from Class XI through postgraduate and PhD levels, with a focus on underprivileged sections. These scholarships typically cover tuition fees partially or fully and may also include living stipends. Conclusion There are additional issues that require serious attention from policymakers and institutional leaders involved in establishing private universities. It is essential that individuals with a sense of mission and commitment play a central role in shaping these institutions. As an old Chinese saying goes: If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if you think in terms of ten years, plant a tree; if you think in terms of a hundred years, educate people.
